CHEDDAR, CORN & POTATO CHOWDER
Curry gives this just the right amount of zip without being overpowering. I especially like all the veggies in the recipe. My kids always loved it, even when they were young, and I always had to make a double or triple batch to make sure we had enough leftovers.-Becky Ruff, McGregor, Iowa

CHICKEN, WHITE BEAN, CORN & CHEDDAR CHOWDER
WOW. This is the most delicious chowder I've had in a long time. I didn't have half-and-half or whipping cream so I used evaporated milk. I also didn't have any cheese, but the flavors are so great you can skip it. I added some creamed corn to this because I wanted more corn in the recipe, and I also added an additional can of white beans (personal preference). I loved that I could boil my chicken and have the stock ready. This is a definite make-again recipe courtesy of Spilling the Beans.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the chowder will be. Fresh corn, potatoes, and celery are essential for a flavorful and satisfying chowder.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese: Cheddar is the classic cheese for corn chowder, but you can also use other types, such as Gruyère, Parmesan, or Monterey Jack. Experiment until you find a combination that you love.
- Make sure to cook the vegetables until they are tender: This will help to ensure that the chowder is creamy and flavorful. Overcooked vegetables will make the chowder gritty and unpleasant.
- Season the chowder to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. Be careful not to over-season the chowder, as you can always add more seasoning later.
- Serve the chowder hot, with your favorite toppings: Corn chowder is best served hot, with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkling of chopped chives, or a few crumbled crackers.
Conclusion:
Cheddar corn chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a pot of corn chowder that will warm you up from the inside out.
